  <default-description>R. J. Decker, star tenant of the local trailer park and neophyte private eye, is fishing for a killer. Thanks to a sportsman's scam that's anything but sportsmanlike, there's a body floating in Coon Bog, Florida-and a lot that's rotten in the murky waters of big-stakes, large-mouth bass tournaments. Here Decker will team up with a half-blind, half-mad hermit with an appetite for road kill; dare to kiss his ex-wife while's she's in bed with her new husband; and face deadly TV evangelists, dangerously seductive women, and a pistol-toting redneck with a pit bull on his arm. And here his own life becomes part of the stakes. For while the &quot;double whammy&quot; is the lure, first prize is for the most ingenious murder.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Skink is just as memorable of a character for Hiaasen as Mick Stranahan - but I like Mick best. This one is a good fish story, though. It's easy to see people going this crazy over something like bass fishing. And I really do admire Hiaasen's ability to work environmental concerns into all of his st...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70034310">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was such a hi-larry-ious book! It was recommended to me by my mother-in-law, and I was seriously floored with its humor and crafty plot.<br/><br/>I have recommended this book to so many people, my Dad even &quot;borrowed&quot; my own personal copy. I was pretty upset because I was living in H...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22843872">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My favorite character in all of Hiaasen's books is Clinton Tyree calls himself Skink. I think he appears in about five of his books. He is the ex-governor of Florida. I won't get into his personality, living conditions and friends but you can be sure, if you like Carl Hiaasen's writing, you'll love ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61305732">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The first book I read from this author and by no means the last. I laughed so hard in some parts, I cried. Absolute craziness from beginning to end, I hadn't read anything like it before. Even years later, I tell people about one character who mentally deteriorates due to the decapitated pitbull loc...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34356046">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An entertaining book that follows all the same lines as every Carl Hiaasen book.  I usually try to spread out the Hiaasen books that I read because they are so similar.  This is a somewhat funny book about competitive Bass Fishing and how far people will go to win.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Murder mystery with a back drop of Professional Bass Fishing and television evangelists. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Hiaasen has a real sense of humor.  I will never look at fishing tournaments or roadkill the same way!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Thorougly enjoyed, absurd sense of humor but somehow believable.Think is is the best of the Hiaasen books I've read so far. Haissen doesn't leave you wondering at the end of the book.  You know it has ended well.<br/>]]></body>
